Seeing that both of them had agreed, Wanli was happy and shouted, "Set up the banquet, and I will have a few drinks tonight." Zhang Jianxiu immediately passed the message. At this time, Wanli looked at Tu Ada again and said, "National Master, although you have just served me for a while, I have already understood your loyalty. Now, do you want to listen to my words?" Tu Ada immediately bowed and said, "I will listen to the emperor's orders, and there will be no complaints at all!" Wanli was very satisfied and smiled and said, "Transfer to the general manager!" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a man wearing the clothes of the general manager stepping in with a sword on his waist, which was just towards Lin Feng. Everyone was shocked, but he didn't expect that he would accompany him.

Xiang Lin Feng bowed to Wanli Yingying and said, "I am here, please give me the emperor's order." Wanli asked him to calm down first, and then said, "General Xiang, no matter who you have any unforgettable hatred with before, do you want to obey my arrangements today?" Xiang Lin Feng naturally agreed. Wanli gave him a seat and Xiang Lin Feng sat at the bottom.

After sitting down, he said to Lin Feng: "Your Highness, Princess, I want to introduce you to a hero." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Sun Pu coming out, his face was a little haggard, but he smiled happily. He immediately bowed to Emperor Wanli and the princess. Zhu Yixuan said happily: "Brother Sun, come and sit down next to me and Brother Rong." Immediately someone brought a stool and placed it behind Zhu Yixuan and Guo Rong, and Sun Pu went over to sit down.

Then, he saw someone walking out, Ren Guangming. After bowing to Emperor Wanli and others, he stood behind Xiang Linfeng without saying a word.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wanli said loudly: "Since you are an official in the same palace, you should think about how to serve the court and how to be loyal to me. But you are not like that. You are all planning to make a life-and-death battle to eliminate dissidents. I was very angry and once thought about taking you and others to the Meridian Gate and beheading them. But after all, they are my beloved ministers and I feel unbearable. Therefore, today I will explain that no matter who it is, if you provoke trouble in the future

I will never give up easily. At worst, I will kill the whole family and will not tolerate it. At least, it will be demoted to the common people and will never be hired. Do you all know?" As he said that, he glanced at everyone. Everyone bowed their heads and agreed to "understand". Seeing this, Wanli was overjoyed and said, "Come to the banquet, have a drink of wine together today. From then on, I will leave my old hatred behind and work together to serve the loyalty to the Ming Dynasty." Everyone thanked the emperor's kindness in unison. Wanli was extremely proud and smiled at the sky.

On the evening of that day, Guo Ronggang returned to the mansion and was practicing shooting skills with Xiong Feibai, but saw a man climbing up the window and entering the martial arts training hall. Looking closely, it turned out to be Zhang Jianxiu. Guo Rong saw him wearing a night clothes and asked in surprise: "Fourth brother, what are you going to do?" Zhang Jianxiu said: "The Jinyiwei found that the people from Tiandi Manor were in Baiyanggang ten miles outside the city. I want to find out what happened to you. Brother Rong, I wonder if you have time to accompany you?" Guo Rongzhi

Those people were not only very skilled in martial arts, but also ruthless and scheming, so they agreed. When asked if the Jinyiwei had sent the Jinyiwei to investigate the Lao Yang family, Zhang Jianxiu said: "I went to investigate, but it was empty, leaving only traces of fighting and blood, and nothing else was found." Guo Rong said "Oh" and sighed: The people in Tiandi Manor did things neatly! He also guessed the same result, but just asked casually.

Xiong Feibai said, "Master Zhang, Master, in Feibai's opinion, it's not good for you to go." Zhang Jianxiu smiled and said, "Feibai, don't worry. Your master and I will go there, just inquire and not fight. Can't we escape even by the Japanese pirates in the Heaven and Earth Manor?" Xiong Feibai said, "Okay, you go first, I'll call the Jinyiwei to pick you up." Guo Rong said, "Feibai, it's not good to alarm too many people. Let's go and inquire, and then try to annihilate them in one fell swoop." Xiong Feibai saw that their intention to leave was decided, so he did not stop him. So Guo Rong immediately changed into Yexingyi. Because Shangyi Sword could no longer be found, he brought a long sword in the martial arts hall and set off with Zhang Jianxiu.

The two of them used their light skills all the way, and after leaving the city, they picked up remote paths and walked. After a while, they came to Baiyanggang. According to the information from the Jinyiwei, Zhang Jianxiu came to the depths of the Baiyang forest and indeed saw an abandoned manor. Although it was not clear at night, a large manor that was black could be seen standing in front of him. The two of them jumped over the road, climbed into the manor from the side wall, and the place where they settled was covered with weeds. They stepped on the weeds and rushed to the nearest house. They searched one by one, but they were all empty. The two of them looked for it with doubts.

When they came to the row of houses in the back row, although they were empty, they saw that there was no dust and the furniture was neatly arranged. They knew in their hearts that someone had lived there. After searching the entire manor, there was no one, and no trace left. The two wondered: Why did they go to Zhuangkong so quickly? Could it be that the news leaked?

When they returned to the first row of houses, they looked up at the roof, but saw a white flag floating on it, fluttering in the wind. Guo Rong and Zhang Jianxiu looked at each other and met each other. Zhang Jianxiu bent his knees and was about to jump onto the roof, but Guo Rong grabbed him, shook his head and said softly: "Fourth brother, the Japanese pirates are full of tricks, we have to be careful." Zhang Jianxiu remembered the experience of Guo Rong and the others in Tiandi Manor and the large amount of gunpowder they had obtained, and immediately became careful. Guo Rong picked up a stone from the ground and aimed at the flagpole and shot it.

But with a "dong" sound, the flagpole was directly hit by a stone, and it was shaken and fell to the other side of the roof. There was nothing unusual. The two were surprised and looked at each other again. At this moment, they heard the loud "rumbling" sound, and the entire roof was suddenly blown away, with tiles and wood chips flying across the sky, and the fires soaring into the sky. Without hesitation, they hurried out to the outside of the yard. But the explosion continued to explode, and the flames kept coming from behind. At the same time, they heard the sound of "silly" arrow rain array coming from the top of their heads. Looking up, they saw countless arrows shot out from the woods around the yard, aiming straight at the roof. The two knew in their hearts that even if gunpowder could not be killed, they could not escape the rain of arrows. If they shot to the ground, they could not escape the bombardment of gunpowder.

Guo Rong and Zhang Jianxiu jumped out of the wall and continued to run out. Hearing no more explosions behind him, he stopped. Looking back, he saw that the entire yard was burning in the sky, and recalling the scenes just now, the throbbing in his heart could not calm down. He took a few deep breaths and then gradually calmed down. Zhang Jianxiu said: "Brother Rong, did you notice the tree that shot arrows just now?" Guo Rong said: "I have noticed that no one." Zhang Jianxiu said: "Yes, I didn't expect that these woks would not only be tricky, but also made such strange weapons. If they were allowed to stay in our court, they would be a disaster in the future."

On the way back, Guo Rong and Zhang Jianxiu were both silent. When they broke up, Zhang Jianxiu said: "Brother Rong, the fourth brother will continue to closely monitor the whereabouts of the Japanese pirates in the Tiandi Manor. Once there is news, we will act together." Guo Rong was naturally happy and said: "First to eliminate future troubles, secondly, to avenge himself, and he will not spare these Japanese pirates in any case." The two parted ways and went back to their homes.

The next day, Zheng Yuanzong came to Shangyi Mansion to get four boxes of silver. Guo Rong saw a large group of people parked outside the door, all under the banner of the Feilong Escort Agency, and knew in his heart that they were going south to send silver to Guangzhou. Huang Fang took them out four boxes of silver, counted them, loaded them on the carriage and set off one by one. Zheng Yuanzong originally wanted to call Ling Enjie back to Guangzhou together, but he said, "Escort Zheng, please take the lead and go after you finish the wedding banquet.

." Zheng Yuanzong smiled and said goodbye to everyone, and was about to leave. However, Guo Rong stopped him and asked, "Zheng escort, are you the only one leading the team?" Zheng Yuanzong smiled but said nothing. Guo Rongyi said righteously, "Do you know that silver belongs to the Japanese pirates. These Japanese pirates have a great amount. If you are alone in the formation, you may have the will but not the strength." Zheng Yuanzong smiled and said, "Thank you, General Guo, for reminding me. The mountain man has his own tricks!" After that, he took the escort team away.

Tomorrow is a great joy. Shangyi Mansion has already been arranged, and the red "happy" copybooks are everywhere, and it is very festive. Zhu Yixuan saw it and was secretly happy. In the afternoon, the emperor sent someone to take the princess back to the palace and send it to the red sedan tomorrow. Sun Pu also followed her back to the palace. Since he was released from his sincerity to Lin Feng, he has been following the princess and always protecting the left and right. However, Guo Rong always felt that his mind was blank and he could not calm down. He did not dare to think about what would happen tomorrow. He tried hard to calm himself down, but he never had any

The method was done. Huang Fang saw it and said, "Junior brother, why can't he be happy when the happy event is approaching?" Guo Rong shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I just feel that there is something wrong in my heart, but I can't say what's wrong." Huang Fang smiled and said, "Junior brother, don't be nervous. If you are the princess in the future, you can live a free life of our people in the martial arts world. Look, don't the princess like to go to the world with you? He also said that he would go south to worship his ancestors, and then he would go to Guangzhou. I will also go to Guangzhou with you to see grandpa, aunt and others. I will also see your Miss Hong, hehehehe!"

Guo Rong was amused by her, thinking that it would be a beautiful scene in the future. Especially when he went to Guangzhou, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Senior sister, I used to hear that there was a Qulego man in Baiyun Mountain in Guangzhou, and I would also visit him at that time. I thought that before, Lingmei and I went south to Guangzhou to visit this master. But now the one who accompanied me to visit the master is no longer Lingmei, the road is still the same road, but the person who walked together is no longer there. Alas, I hope the master is still the master." Seeing him sad again, Huang Fang whispered: "Junior brother, it's good to remember Zeng Ling in his heart. Think of her when he has time, but you must let it go and don't affect the mood of himself and the princess." Guo Rong understood in his heart and nodded to show his understanding.

He became busy and tried out his clothes for Guo Rong, and also talked about tomorrow's itinerary and ceremony, as well as showing the list of guests who will be there tomorrow, how to arrange banquets, etc. He was busy until late at night, and Guo Rong was able to rest.

In a daze, Guo Rong seemed to hear the sound of someone knocking on the window. He quickly turned over and got up. He was indeed still heard. He immediately asked, "Who?" But he heard a voice saying, "Do you dare to follow me?" He heard footsteps coming out. Although Guo Rong did not hear who it was, he was not fearless and immediately followed the window. Seeing a black shadow not far away, he seemed to be standing there, not running, but waiting for himself. Guo Rong asked, "Who is it?" The man sneered a few times and turned around and ran. Seeing that Guo Rong immediately used his light skills to chase after him. Seeing that the man's light skills were not weak, Guo Rong immediately raised his true energy to chase him.

After running for a while, he came to a remote place. At this time, the sky was already clear. The man stood still, Guo Rong stopped and saw clearly that it was Zhuo Jinzhong. Unexpectedly, it was him. Guo Rong said in surprise: "It turned out to be you. Humph, what's the matter with finding this general?" Zhuo Jinzhong murmured: "I didn't expect General Guo to be so forgetful." Guo Rong didn't know what he was referring to, so he asked: "What do you think quickly? Don't keep it a blind eye." Zhuo Jinzhong said: "It's good! It's true that we are among us. Originally, we could be good brothers, but unfortunately we are all the masters, and we can only be enemies in this life." Guo Rong said: "If you don't say it, I'll go back now." As he said that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Zhuo Jinzhong said, "Slow down!" Guo Rong stopped and continued, "Don't you want to know the origin of the tombstone rubbing?" After he reminded him, Guo Rong suddenly remembered this incident, but was not anxious. He looked at him and said coldly, "Then tell me." Zhuo Jinzhong said, "The inscription was returned from the rubbing, and it will not be fake. However, the tombstone is not fake, but the tomb may be fake." Guo Rong was shocked when he heard this and asked, "How can the tomb be fake?" Zhuo Jinzhong said, "General Guo, you have been smart for a lifetime, but why have you suddenly become confused?" Guo Rong was still puzzled and said, "Please make it clear."

Zhuo Jinzhong called out and said, "The tomb of Zeng Ling in Dongting Lake, the soulless girl. Why use the three words "Soulless Girl"?" After he asked, Guo Rong was not understanding and asked, "This seems difficult to understand." Zhuo Jinzhong said, "Since it is late, why is there no soul? If there is no soul, then people are alive. Are you right?" Guo Rong still didn't understand the meaning, but kept chanting the three words "Soulless Girl". Zhuo Jinzhong continued, "The undead is established. This 'undead' study

Have you ever thought about who it is?” Guo Rong shook his head, and he couldn’t know. Zhuo Jinzhong said: “Zhuo had heard that there were often female ghosts near the graves, so that hill was called ‘Soulless Gate’. Every midnight, female ghosts would appear to eat passers-by merchants. Therefore, locals dare not get into the Soulless Gate at all. Because no one could come back alive after seeing the female ghost, no one knew what the female ghost looked like.”

Guo Rong couldn't think of any relationship between this, so he looked at Zhuo Jinzhong blankly. Zhuo Jinzhong smiled faintly and said, "General Guo, ask yourself who is the person you really love and who is the person you need to love the most. Then, think about what Zhuo said just now." Guo Rong asked, "Zhuo Jinzhong, where is the grave." Zhuo Jinzhong smiled faintly and said, "It's okay to tell you, it's on the banks of the Mei River in Dongting." Guo Rong nodded and murmured, "So there. Why are they there?" While thinking, he looked up and wanted to continue asking, but he saw that his eyes were empty, and Zhuo Jinzhong had already left without a trace. Guo Rong was thinking, but his mind was confused, and he returned to the mansion alone.

The sky gradually became brighter and Guo Rong had not fallen asleep anymore. Not long after, someone knocked on the door and asked him to get up. After Guo Rong got up, he was tricked into wearing new clothes and wearing heavy makeup. Huang Fang came to see him and laughed, "Junior brother, you look so handsome!" As he said, he burst into laughter. Looking at Guo Rong in the mirror, he looked serious and serious. Huang Fang was stunned and asked, "Junior brother, what happened? How could it be this expression?"

Guo Rong sighed and said, "Senior Sister, what do you mean by the Soulless Girl? What does the Ninthian mean?" When Huang Fang heard this, she realized that she was thinking of Zeng Ling and was still struggling with the inscriptions of the rubbings. She couldn't help but murmur, "What do you ask about this? Why bother to think about these things? The princess is about to enter the door, cherish the people in front of her." Guo Rong continued, "It turns out that Lingmei's tomb is in the Soulless Hill on the banks of the Meijiang River. It is said that evil ghosts are there.

Senior sister, do you think that Sister Ling is still alive, but is just controlled by the evil ghost?" Huang Fang said, "I don't know either. However, the banks of the Meijiang River are my hometown, so I want to go and see it. I don't want Zeng Ling, but miss my hometown." Guo Rong murmured, "Then what you said is 'not clear' means that it is possible." Huang Fang said in a daze: "But there are no ghosts in the world? The ghost theory is just to scare those brave bandits."

Guo Rong said: "Since that's the case, the soulless girl is more worthy of consideration. I think the grave may be empty, and the tombstone was also set up by Lingmei himself. She used it to scare others and also wanted to spread the news to the world. If it reaches my ears, I will understand that this is what I meant by asking me to save her." Huang Fang suddenly asked: "Junior brother, who told you this? Is it Zhuo Jinzhong?" Guo Rong said "um" and said: "He came not long ago, told me." Huang Fang said anxiously: "Junior brother, tell you this at this critical moment. I think he has ulterior motives. Don't believe what he said." Guo Rong

He said, "I also know that he has ulterior motives, but what he said makes sense. I want to save Lingmei. I can't know where she is, but I don't want to save her. From now on, I have to see each other again. I will never meet again in this life." As he said, he was about to stand up. The makeup artist hurriedly held him down and said, "Mr. Prince Consort, don't be impatient. You have to finish your makeup before you can walk." Guo Rong sat down and Huang Fang said, "Junior brother, don't be impulsive. When you go south with the princess, you can go to Meijiang to see it. Why bother at this time?" Guo Rong was a little calmer, but he was still entangled with those thoughts in his heart and did not let go.

After a while, Guo Rong's new makeup was ready, and he was so handsome that the woman fell in love with him when she saw him. When she walked out, she saw that many guests had already arrived.
